System 7 Pro: Font Issues with Snapshot Format (12/93)

What's supposed to happen when an AppleMail document is sent to someone
in the "snapshot" format, and a font that's used on the sender's
computer isn't installed on the client's computer?

Does this affect output possibilities, whether to PostScript or
QuickDraw printers and fax machines?

An AppleMail snapshot creates a document in PICT format. The PICT
format stores the information about the font used originally to create
the document. The system that opens the document substitutes the font
if the font isn't present. The result is that the recipient's document
won't look like the original.
